Thanks, Cinco!


Do you compulsively purchase things that you do not need (and probably won't use)? Are you an advocate of conspicuous consumerism? Do you often find yourself buying things to make yourself feel better and/or connect with other people? Then the "Cinco" corporation has something for you! Take a look at their product catalogue here.

Used frequently as the basis of and for the commercial interludes on, "Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job", these frequently disgusting, usually painful, always pointless and ineffectual products are the deranged, absurd brain children of comedian Bob Odenkirk. They're yet another riff on his protest song against faceless conglomerates, one he's been singing since this classic skit from the HBO series, "Mr. Show".

"Cinco" products are like a nightmare come alive about the kind of cheap gadgets and gizmos hawked to insomniac shop-a-holics on late night informercials. They have no use and seem to exist only as a ploy to get your money. In a greater sense, while ridiculously framed, it's an apt indictment of the needless consumerism that plagues those people with disposable incomes and the kind of misguided ambition that urges them to try and keep up with their peer-petitors in the race to own as much crap as possible.

Ok, enough sermonizing. Enjoy a small sampling of some of "Cinco's" more unique products below:  

Product highlights include
-"Thocks": a unique sartorial accent that combines the utility of black dress socks with the sexy    
intrigue of thong-style underwear. 

-"The Encyclopedia of Numbers": They're all in there! 

-"Cigarette Juice": The name says it all. Plus, it's endorse by "Spagett

-"The Urinal Shower": For the go-getting jet setter, you'll never have to go without a shower again! 

Don't wait. Buy now! BUY! BUY! BUY!
